June Jordan’s experiences and writings about censorship and dissent still apply today. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “June Jordan on Palestine and American Delusions” in In These Times, which features an introduction by Sherell Barbee. This piece features excerpts of June Jordan’s essay “Life After Lebanon” (1984), which is a reflection on Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the backlash Jordan faced for publicly condemning that invasion, and “Waking Up in the Middle of Some American Dream” (1986), which analyzes the pressing need for and power of coalition-building, and what we learn and take away from these essays in our continued learning and unlearning work and our fight for collective liberation.
